According to the latest figures released by the Commission, states across the federation recorded impressive participation, with Lagos, Osun, and Ogun leading in numbers.

Other states such as Kaduna, Oyo, Kogi, and Kebbi also witnessed high engagement, while the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) saw one of the largest concentrations of new registrants.
